Willie Run

Join us!

Austin 10K’r invites you to join us for a unique variety of fun running routes that will compliment your Cap10K training. The Willie Run is a creative 3-mile that intersects the Butler Park, crosses the Lady Bird Lake and strolls through the entertainment district of downtown to a statue of one of Austin’s most iconic singer-songwriters. Take an opportunity along the way to get your photo next to the legendary Willie Nelson statue outside the Moody Theater.

Brief Description

The Austin 10K’r social training routes are Cap10K staff organized runs or walks which are variable in distance, free, open to the public and begin and end at Austin American-Statesman. Social run route distances vary between 3-6 miles and will be scheduled regularly throughout the year. Each meeting will incorporate a creative theme that highlights the culture of Austin and the Cap10K. Maps, bottled water, nutritional bars, high fives and selfies will be shared at each meeting.

The Statesman Capitol 10,000 is the largest 10K race in Texas and one of the top 10 in the nation. In its 40th year, the Cap10K will take place on April 23, 2017 in downtown Austin. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a beginner, come see why the Cap10K is a rite of spring in Austin. You can come in your favorite super hero costume…or design your own shirt and run with friends.
